Is this Truly a guaranteed GLOBAL knife set? Can Amazon guarantee that this is not a fake?

And by the way, saw the previous person said they'd slice your flesh like jello. Within the 1st month of getting these, they did exactly that to my son's finger. And he's a professional cook...be careful!

I gave this set to my son who is a chef, and he loves it, so I'm assuming it is a real Global knife set.

It has been nearly 3 years since I bought and don't remember what authenticity papers came with them but I can assure you I have never had a reason to doubt it. They are amazing knives. Be careful! They will slice your flesh like they are jello.

The one I received is as real as can be, I have had it for 3 years still sharp as ever, no rust. Still get compliments on this set. I will expand my sets in the future. I always trust amazon prime, if its not real to you, simply return for free.

As far as I know these knives are authentic. At first I was worried after I noticed some variation on the handles. The utility and bread knives say FIBROX, but the chef and paring knives don't. However, if you check Victorinox's web site, you'll see the same variation throughout their Fibrox line, and the knives seem to work as well as advertised, so I don't see any cause to worry.

If you are able to get for $12.99, DO IT (and please email me at lmbates219@aol.com to tell me what site!!!!!). I was one of the lucky ones that got it for $12.99, and it is an AWESOME set! I went back to buy more for family members, and the price had gone up to $99 (which is actually reasonable for this set, but I'm way too cheap to pay that kind of money for knives!) Anyways, definitely worth it!!!

While I am surprised there are still originals available, I do believe the Gerber Command II's from the Amazon site are real. These knives were very expensive when first released. For this reason and possibly others such as a recovering economy, poor marketing strategy, or who knows why, they obviously didn't sell very well. What I do know for sure is that my knife is the real deal. And it was bought recently from this Amazon site. Once again, this is one awesome knife. Your're not going to find this knife for some ridiculously low price. And if you do it will be fake. Like the ones for $55.55 on some Chinese site with over 5,000 in stock. If it sounds to good to be true, well you know the rest. While I am surprised there are still originals available, I do believe the Gerber Command II's from the Amazon site are real.

Sure! There's nothing magical about Global knives except they ship with a really nice factory edge. A lot of high-end cutlery makers make noise about sharpening their knives using a particular stone or device. I remember years back I bought a utility knife from Porsche Design and they said never to use a steel made out of steel, which led me to buy my first, scrawny ceramic steel. This is nonsense, of course. Except for ceramic knives, almost any knife can be sharpened on any steel - just do it skillfully. But let me reassure you, this sharpener works fantastically on my Globals, my Macs, my Wusthofs, my Porsche, even my antique carbon steel slicer from my grandmother. Go for it.

Not sure where they're made. But, if you're concerned about the quality I can tell you it is a nice set. Don't expect the knives to match the quality of any real chef knife ($500+ per), but if you take care of them, no dishwashers - hand wash, and sharpen now and again... They are very nice. I am super happy with the purchase.

Best way to tell before buying is the price, If your buying a $250 benchmade for $100 it is likely a fake. When you buy the knife check the outside of the box the knife came in (not the shipping box but the blue/black/gold benchmade box. If its legit it will have a barcode on one of the sides. This is from the factory in Oregon. Hope this helped

I purchased 10 of them and as far as I can tell all real. Imported from another country? I am on the Leatherman facebook and the discussions there indicate no Leatherman knife is imported, the rep on FB stated all knives are made and assembled in OR, USA. They were sent to me from A USA company. I hope this is helpful.

United cutlery is the actual brand. There not bad knives for the price. You can find them on untied cutlerys website. I think they were like $70 on there. Soo much cheaper on amazon. Good luck!

I have been using spyderco knives for years and have the trainer for this knife as well, definitely not a fake. I bought one from these guys a year or so ago and it is still in my pocket with a deadly edge.

Yes, it is genuine. This is according to my husband who purchases from Amazon and is thoroughly satisfied with the blades.

Sorry, I already tossed the packaging. However, if you go to www.hamptonforge.com you can ask Hampton Forge LTD (R) directly. It is a US company based in New York and New Jersey but I can't tell you were they get there knives from. I do have to say they are awesome knives. But be careful they are so sharp I have cut myself and didn't even realize it until I saw the blood. I hope this info helps :)

I don't know the answer to that! I can only confirm that the knife I own is the real deal. It's not a pair of Ray Ban where you can look for markings and hidden serial numbers. If you think it's a fake, send it back

That's a good question. I gave this 3-piece set as a gift, so I don't know the answer. However, I received a Wusthof knife block including the steak knives for Christmas. The quality and craftsmanship don't appear to be nearly as good as other Wusthof knives I have used in the past, which makes me wonder if there are different "levels" or models, and if all Wusthof products are truly manufactured in Germany. Here is a link I found, which you might find helpful. There are phone numbers for inquiries at the bottom. You should give them a call! Hope that is helpful. http://www.prweb.com/releases/wusthof/channel-iq/prweb10460769.htm

Consider buying directly from Cold Steel, or their Special Projects website. I believe you can call them and check to see if a particular seller/dealer is legitimate.

I believe they are a sort of polymer G-10 look a like. So, no i do not think they are true G-10. Still a great knife though!
